South facing double room in Victorian house E5

We have a double southern facing room in a friendly, professional house share (move in date 1st March 2026, but can be slightly flexible if you are able to move in sooner). We are a mixture of nations, cultures, and interests. With Spanish, English and French speakers living and sharing a life in East London.

The room has tall windows which provides good natural light (when it's sunny in the UK) which makes it ideal for plants or someone who rises a little earlier for their coffee. The room has some pieces of furniture included, such as a bed, desk and built in wardrobe and some other pieces might be sold by the current tenant.

The house is on a quiet road which is somewhat of a cul-de-sac. The street has a very communal vibe and we even have the occasional street party.

We have a mixture of interests and hobbies, ranging from yoga, going to galleries, aspiring millinery, art house cinema trips, climbing, Tag Rugby, learning piano, Joyride (IYKYK). Some active past times such as bike rides that include picnics and cocktails or longer rides that involve tents and large hills. One of us is going to cycle through Spain and Portugal in the summer so plenty of practice needed.

You'll be living with five others – Robin (she/her), Shibby (they/them), Kezia (she/her), Will (he/him) and Eli (they/them). Sounds like a lot, but the house is pretty big and we're rarely all in at the same time.

The most important housemate is our cat Miso - he is our King, so unfortunately can’t have any other pets.

We all have a range of occupations from international journalism, publishing, EDI Manager for British Climbing, work in TV & Film as a set designer, and most recently an event producer at the BFI (free screening invites are a new bonus to the activity list).

There has always been an artistic and creative vibe to the house with invites to events and theatre shows from previous tenants still a part of our social lives.

We are respectful of each other’s lives and will enjoy a meal together or pub visit but are also quite autonomous and understand the balance of a slow garden day and a nuit blanche but setting the tone for the former and wanting the house to remain clean, safe, respectful, and restorative.

Occasional parties do take place and are always excellent, but it's not a party house.

We have a south facing garden and patio area which is lovely in the warmer months and still gets some light in winter. We sometimes growing veggies and flowers with ambitions to grow more bits too. With space out the front for more planters and to be creative with.

5 minutes from Clapton Overground Station, supermarkets and world food store and most importantly the local pubs are The Crooked Billet and The Clapton Hart; 18 minutes to Stoke Newington, 7 minutes to Hackney Downs Park. 30 mins cycle from central London along a nice route (Quiet Way number 2).

Rear entrance to the garden so you can bring your bike through where we have secure bike parking. All of us cycle to get around.

The deposit is £490.

£675 rent per month (move in date 1st March or sooner if it aligns with the housemate moving out)

The total cost including bills varies from month to month of course, depending on energy usage or bits we need for the house bills range from £120-140pm.

We have a cleaner who comes every week for the shared spaces (this is included in the bills), but we all work to keep it clean and tidy in between their visits. We'd love someone who is tidy and values having a clean space.

Queer friendly and socially/environmentally conscientious/politically active.

Please send us a message telling us a bit more about yourself - what does your work do to inspire you, what brings you joy, what excites you, what kind of share you're wanting and expecting to live in.

PLEASE NOTE It's a private landlord and the contract will be renegotiated in Feb with a signing date of 1st March.
